I was impressed with the way it cleaned the room. No sub-dividing, running round in different patterns. Just straight forward, do the perimeter and clean in nice straight lines. It also seems to do about 75% of the up line with the back line too. So it actually covers each line twice. Lots of potential here
Adam, you need to re-test the robot on the two areas where it left debris. This will tell you if it was the carpet causing the problem, or if the bin was actually full and caused the failure to pick up the debris.
It could’ve been that it has a soft roller Which is more for hard floor instead of the typical which is a mix of bristles and squeegees which is good for any floor type. I’ve seen other reviews and they said it doesn’t do as deep of a clean on carpet as some of the others do but it doesn’t do a bad job.
the main issue with most of these ufo like robots is the low sucking power comnbined with a brush bar half of he width of the robot and a side brush that smashes the dirt into all directions and under furnitures where it is visually "gone" of course.
There's a good sign that Roborock will add a timer system to empty and resume. The G10 already has one for self-washing and resume, and the S5 Max has the same bar to adjust water flow in the app.
Cool , you should do the stress-test with this Samsung & Roomba S9 and any other robot that can auto empty with timers or as they auto-empty when full. And see if they fail :)
nice review! I am pretty unsatisfied with roomba i7 I got last year. I am sure roomba 675 was cleaning better because it had a brush. I am almost considering going back to dumb roomba with one rubber and one brush roller. I have mostly laminate hard floors and tiles and a small tiny carpet under the table in living room. Maybe the fabric roller of this samsung would do a better job on hard floors. But it also looks like tangle hell
Thanks for this test, Adam. I’m impressed with what my baby can do. I so wish I was offered the plus version, such is the reviewer life. I have three floor types, thick pile but not very long Mohawk, laminated wood flooring and linoleum for the bathrooms and laundry room. I’ve noticed it can do a decent job on all of them but like left over fruity pebbles I try to notice any debris or I drop a test spot and see if it gets it. You’ve inspired me. I’ve had mixed results on that, sometimes the spot I marked in my brain to check is still there other times perfect. But, I’ll tell you what I can’t really test as my apartment is now like one of your warehouses, in the test room. I was very impressed with the methodical and just about perfect way it did the rows. I have mine set to do the perimeter at the end but yours did the circle around and the just did the big rows. I don’t think any of the previous ones did that. You could only see that in the test room as now real wall obstacles. As for the self empty and continue, that’s awesome, no others have done that, save Roomba. I wonder if Samsung did something not totally Kosher and are basically telling iRobot to sue them. Samsung is a bazillion times bigger and basically saying to iRobot; we’ll see you in court for the next fifty years as we have more lawyers then you do. Make our day. I’d love to see the obstacle test. See what it chokes on. Thanks!

I like how it even cleaned close to the base

I just purchased one. I was reading the features online and it says that you can choose when it empties the bin itself. Maybe you can do a re-test?
That's a great test room but too bad it doesn't test crossing room thresholds.

Can you review eufy X8?
If you go to the empty dust setting you have the option to have it empty when full or empty when it starts charging.

In your opinion, how’s it compare to the Roborock S7?
just got this one ... its good but the brush desighn not very good for the pet hair :(

Is it just me, or does it look like the lidar sensor can see over the walls of the testing room? Maybe just on the thick carpet?

For $1,100 it should do a pretty good job.
OK, all you have to do is send the robot out again!
You don’t even have to do that, just select it to clean until battery low. Why limit it to one pass when you’ve literally purchased a robot to clean.
